Harris agrees to participate in second potential debate scheduled for October

The Harris campaign has accepted an invitation from CNN to participate in a second debate with former President Donald Trump on Oct. 23. The campaign believes that the American people deserve another opportunity to see the two candidates debate before casting their ballots. Trump, however, has stated that there will be no third debate, citing that it is unnecessary, especially as voting has already begun. The potential debate would be a rematch following their first debate on Sept. 10, which was hosted by ABC. The campaign is pushing for this additional debate, emphasizing that the format and setup would be similar to the previous CNN debate in which Trump participated and praised the moderators, rules, and ratings. The proposed debate would take place less than two weeks before Election Day, raising the stakes for both candidates as early voting is already underway in several states. The Harris campaign’s readiness to engage in another debate reflects their commitment to providing voters with the chance to see the candidates square off on important issues.
